The Parliamentary Digital Service (PDS) is a vital component of the UK Parliament, dedicated to enhancing the digital landscape of parliamentary operations. Established to support the needs of Members of Parliament (MPs) and their staff, PDS plays a crucial role in ensuring that technology is effectively integrated into the legislative process.

PDS focuses on delivering innovative digital solutions that facilitate communication, collaboration, and information sharing within Parliament. This includes developing and maintaining essential digital platforms that enable MPs to engage with constituents and access vital resources efficiently.
